Meet Downhill's Next Big Thing: Lisa Baumann

Lisa Baumann has just delivered the biggest result of her elite downhill career, and it feels like only the beginning. After claiming a career-best second place at the Lenzerheide World Cup, Lisa joined us at the Downtime Podcast in Lenzzerheide to talk about the breakthrough performance that put her firmly at the front of the elite women's downhill field. Racing in front of a Swiss crowd, Lisa reflects on what that result meant, the emotion of standing on a World Cup podium, and why it felt like years of work finally came together. She also talks about growing up in rural Switzerland, racing from the age of four, following her older siblings into the sport, dealing with injuries and setbacks, and learning how to build confidence in the World Cup paddock. This is a conversation about patience, resilience, ambition and what it takes to prove you belong among the fastest riders in the world. If you want to understand the mindset behind one of the biggest breakthrough performances of the season, this one is well worth your time. #DownhillMTB #MountainBiking #UCIWorldCup Thanks to Bike Kingdom Lenzerheide for helping us get here this week and to Hotel Waldhaus for hosting our recordings. https://www.bikekingdom.ch/en https://www.waldhausvalbella.ch/ Photo Credit: Sven Martin Podcast Stuff Listener Offers Downtime listeners can now get 10% off of Stashed Space Rails.
